After college musings!

27th june 2011 was my last day at the place I called my home away from home. AIT. Life had been a roller-coaster ride since. Though I have been living my dream of working at Druva, however there are things that are beyond work, and that I realized in my last 4 months of stay in the real, bitter world! Bitter. Why I call it bitter is because it doesn't always work the way you want it to. Times change. People change. And changing times change people.

Your best friends who share a part of your soul now live in cities far far away. People you had lunch with everyday are people you call once a week. The girl who invaded your dreams once becomes someone you hardly care for. People you trusted with all your heart for years, break your trust. However, there will always be a new house to find, a deadline to run after, loans to apply for and bills to put your hands on!

So perhaps I am at the crossroads of change once again. And if I were to quote a fellow blogger

People I once shared my life with must go away again, and I shall cease to be the center of universe for someone. Yet life must, and has to, go on! It must get a chance to introduce me to new people, new smiles to smile back at, strange sounds of laughter which will soon turn familiar, the sweetness of finding someone as crazy as you, someone who likes the same music as you do or maybe the same books, new conversations, new findings and the same old life which never ceases to change.

If you believe in the greater fool theory, there is no other market as speculative and volatile as the crypto market today. We are perhaps living in the biggest bubble of our times. I am not bullish on this market in particular. I am bullish on the mania. 90% of the cryptos we see today will crash. They are just tokens with no tangible value generation capability. However, I believe that the mania and euphoria will stay.

Having said that, should one consider investing in this market? Certainly!
The risk/reward is lovely, potential upsides and margins are huge and with 3-5% of your net worth, the bet on the mania is worth it.

How does one choose where to invest?

If you follow the stock markets, you are expected to do thorough Fundamental Analysis before investing. Expect the same for the crypto market. I invest in large caps. I invest in index funds. And I invest over and over again. Markets rise, always. Extrapolating the same strategy - invest in indices - the top 10 tokens by perfo…

A recent fan of TDD, I set out to write tests for whatever comes my way. And there was one feature where the code would print messages to the console. Now - I had tests written for the API but I could not get my head around ways to capture these messages in my unittests.
After some searching and some stroke of genius, here's how I accomplished capturing stdout.

Only when you are the consumers of your own products, can you design the best ones! Same philosophies go for API design and programming in general.

This advice may seem counter-intuitive at first, but trust me, the best way to get better at backend programming is to spend some time doing frontend! It will teach you a lot about how your APIs are being used in the "real world". A first-hand experience of API consumption will tell you a lot about your design philosophies!
